SUMMARY

Strategic technology and data infrastructure leader with 30+ years architecting large scale OLTP/OLAP systems, real time analytics platforms, and secure, role based governance environments across federal intelligence, law enforcement, and commercial SaaS domains. Expert in relational database theory, data modeling, ETL/ELT pipelines, predictive analytics, and high volume data ingestion frameworks supporting mission critical operations. Founder and CTO of a 12 year consultancy delivering scalable SaaS platforms, encrypted data processing, and adaptive workflows with full lineage, provenance, and compliance controls. Proven ability to stabilize complex architectures, modernize legacy systems, and transform raw data into operational intelligence that drives measurable outcomes. Passionate about building deterministic, audit ready platforms that treat data as a strategic asset and resolve issues before escalation.

DATA ENGINEERING & ANALYTICS EXPERTISE

Deep expertise in designing and optimizing relational databases (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, AWS RDS), building ETL/ELT pipelines, and modeling high volume OLTP/OLAP systems for investigative, financial, and operational analytics. Skilled in schema design, data normalization, query optimization, indexing strategies, and performance tuning for large scale transactional and analytical workloads. Extensive experience developing data ingestion frameworks, metadata standards, lineage/provenance tracking, and governance models ensuring semantic consistency and auditability across distributed systems. Proficient in Python for data engineering, statistical modeling, predictive analytics, and automation of data workflows. Strong background in CRM analytics, segmentation models, behavioral scoring, churn prediction, and customer lifecycle intelligence from enterprise CRM product leadership.

EXPERIENCE – Serving Commercial & Intelligence Community (2025-present) Co Founder, Chief Architect & Principal Data Engineer — DeepLinks™ LLC Co Founder and Chief Architect of DeepLinks™ LLC, a Veteran owned small business, governance grade data infrastructure and analytics company delivering commercial platforms engineered to be SCIF compatible, SCIF deployable, and aligned with IC grade governance requirements. Designed DeepLinks™ as a modular Governance Operating System supporting Inspector General (IG) reviews, fraud investigations, compliance audits, and high integrity data operations across both commercial and intelligence community domains. Architected the DeepLinks™ Operational Trust Platform (OTP), a deterministic, audit ready workflow engine built on PostgreSQL, Python, and a semantic governance layer. The OTP integrates tightly coupled modules including Profiler (entity resolution and behavioral baselining), Catalog & Dictionary Engine (metadata, taxonomies, controlled vocabularies), CleanTrace (ingestion, cleansing, lineage, provenance), RuleForge (policy, fraud risk, and compliance rule authoring), Bishop (risk scoring, anomaly detection, investigative prioritization), and The Bridge (workflow orchestration, mission progress delivery, and narrative generation). Delivered a 2 TB IRS 990 investigative demonstration enabling IG teams to select a subject and observe end to end ingestion, normalization, scoring, and explainable fraud risk assessment through a fully governed, repeatable OTP pipeline.

EXPERIENCE - Serving Intelligence Community (1991-2026) Senior Data Scientist (Consultant – NRO) 2022-2026 Serve as an Applied Data Engineer supporting the NRO’s Business Plans and Operations Directorate, developing custom data sources, ETL pipelines, and analytical models that drive Tableau dashboards and statistical Cost Estimating Relationships (CERs).
